Also i guess it may be very useful always auto add some default name "Layer" when create New Layer or New Image. Without proper naming layers are invisible in mouse right click menu. And rename every layer every time manually is a huge waste of time.


So things may always look well arranged like this:

....Holy Animated Flying Squirrels !!!

Just for fun I dropped an animated PNG into PhotoLine, and it actually loads all the frames as layers!

Will it export too? Testing.

WebP animation - CHECK
Apng animation - CHECK

I am speechless. PhotoLine just made history: the first general purpose image editor to support animated PNG and WebP files!!!!!!!!!

This is big.

The animated file I tested compresses really well in webp, but browsers definitely have issues playing these at realtime

PS the animation speed is correct when viewed in a browser. Both APNG and AWebP work in Opera, Edge, Firefox.

SUPER COOL!

Animated GIF speed depends a lot of browser, CPU, and OS. So speed usually never look the same on different setups and devices. Animated WebP seems may have similar variations. For example in Firefox browser WebP animation looks slow, but in Xee image viewer same WebP animation looks way faster.

Animated image import really works, but i see the same problem with layers naming.
Here is example how imported animated GIF layers structure looks in Photoshop vs current PhotoLine:

An acceptable solution would be to have the layers labelled

frame[XXXX] where X is a number that starts at 0001 and frame0001 is the first frame in the animation.

Luminar AI als Plug-In funktioniert leider immer noch nicht richtig. Zwar stürzt Photoline beim Benutzen des Plug-Ins mit einer Platzhalterebene nicht mehr ab und einmal lässt es sich auch in Luminar bearbeiten, aber danach kann es nicht mehr weiter in Luminar bearbeiten werden. Stattdessen erhalte ich die angehängte Fehlermeldung.

I didn't manage to export/save an APNG animation. I can open an existing APNG file and PhotoLine opens it with layers, but after saving I get an one-layer PNG without animation.

You need to touch "Speed" slider there to export as animation.

Doesn't work in my case. I can move that slider back and forth as often as I want, I never get to export an animated PNG.

Export works fine with GIF. Also works somehow with WebP, but the WebP animation plays much too fast.

One big difference is that in the GIF export settings I can explicitly choose to export an animated GIF. There are no such settings for APNG/WebP export.

Agreed: currently the GUI is opaque / obscure as to when an animated png/webp is exported. A simple checkbox in the export settings would remedy this, as well as (hopefully) additional settings to control the overall speed, and such.

I was thinking more about relations between layers list and right click menu list, and seems i see some global cosmetic problems there:
- Without manual naming layers are invisible in mouse right click menu.
- Renaming every layer every time manually sometimes a huge waste of time.
- Some global auto renaming to everything may make things too overloaded in layers list and may add confusing duplicated lines in same layer like "Background Background".

The quick and easy solution for these problems may be:
- Allow mouse right click menu to read and display layer type info
- Auto add some default name "Layer 1, 2, 3" when create New Layer or New Image.

Suggested:

If copy/paste Text Layer from one document to another, and if window size of document is smaller than Text Layer size, it changes Text Layer borders when i copy/paste it. (seems this is a part of the older problem that was already fixed 22.90b2)
